This is an update, for Keltor and Just Brew It. I bought the PicoPSU 150Watt kitt, because it had the 4-pin ATX connector. The system booted perfectly. The extra cabling and circuit board on the 24 pin connector, surprisingly fit in my very shallow enclosure. It is 1mm shy of pressing slightly again...

Keltor, Do you have a recommendation for a UL listed 120W 12V solution then? I'm all ears. (Yes I tried Google, and I have not found anything yet, except some Chinese product that comes in orders of 100+). I don't want to fry my system, it cost enough as it is. From what I can tell, the Pico-PSU is ...

Mine should only be drawing about 80 Watts per the power supply calculator I used. I think the calculator was a little high for a 45 watt CPU, Mini ITX mobo, one 2.5 inch SSD and one 2.5 inch laptop drive. I'm fairly certain I will be okay to at least get it up and running with the 90 Watt, but we w...

Great stuff!

I think I will buy the 150W pico-PSU and try it with the 90 laptop brick. If that doesn't work, I guess I will make one more effort with the system by acquiring a 120W psu brick.

I just find it really hard to accept that I don't have enough juice.

Thank you for the help.

Might anyone know if I actually need the 4-pin connector? Follow up to other posts - - No, I have not received any response from customer service. I had the same thought you had. Habey Customer support is stumped, IMO. - Thanks for the 150W suggestion. I actually looked at it last night, after notic...

DPete27, I'm back to square one. I'm considering what you suggest. I don't think the Habey 120 Watt power converter board is compatible with Core i7 4000 series. I have a series of emails in work with Habey customer support. Nothing yet. His most recent question was what RAM am I using. I think ther...

Okay, so the update. The ATX power supply did the trick, for now. It powered everything. I have finished my installation and everything, except for squaring away the power problem. I went to RadioShack, of all places. I was looking for something to modify my PSU plug. Thankfully there was a very kno...

Yes, I do have an ATX PSU lying around. I will give that a try when I get home. Yes, I did mean three different monitors. Good catch... I'll update when I test it out. Both hard drives in the system are laptop hard drives. And it still didn't work when I disconnected them. I will check out the iGO. ...

I have a MSI (Z87i) Mini-ITX mobo in a small Habey EMC-600B mini-ITX case (http://www.directron.com/emc600b.html). With the Habey provided 60 watt power supply the system appears to accept power. The blue LED case lights are on and the CPU and case fans spin. The most glaring problem? I am not able ...

Yep, Swap one item at a time, run until it throws the error. Replace swapped item, and pull/swap another one. Eventually you will find the culprit. I had a similar issue with my Dell D630 laptop. It just kept BlueScreening. I swapped everything. Eventually it came down to a BIOS Setting for "In...

How did it go?

dmiller0387, I would suggest hitting this link (http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect), and letting Intel update your drivers. If you have a motherboard issue, it should be able to update it, and resolve it. I think it is time to hit up Clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php), and giv...

I would look at the Sony SLT-A65($999 - http://amzn.to/o5v69B) or SLT-A55($799 - http://amzn.to/rhXhc1) Both would likely serve you well, and you can continue using your 70-200/f2.8 lens without any adapter. You can find a full A55 review (http://bit.ly/cR0zH0) on Dpreview, as well as an A65 preview...

Please let me save you from a mistake! I have a 120GB OCZ vertex 2 SSD. Well, I've had two now. If I was to do it again, I would pay the extra for the 120GB Intel 320 SSD. The OCZ firmware is just buggy. It isn't fully baked yet. I got an RMA replacement, after I lost everything and my BIOS wouldn't...

I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X. It isn't the latest and greatest, but it is more than enough for some reasonable gaming at 1680x1050. If you can hear it at four feet, I would be amazed. I don't run it too hard, but I don't hear much spool up when I am gaming. I think Sapphire focuses on no...

Shiny!

I would be happy to kick my 5770 to the curb!

Hope to hear back from ya!

As for the "simulator sickness", its funny I never had any problems in the Army with all the Tank/driver and gunner simulators we used. I realize bumping around in a M1 Abrams gives you some sense of the issue, but it isn't to the same degree. The two most common culprits are high angle o...

I don't play video games much, but you should know that you are not experiencing vertigo, you are getting a similar but different effect. It is more commonly called "simulator sickness." Airplane pilots get it all the time when flying/training with "Non-motion" simulators. They a...

I have an ASUS P5KC motherboard with probably the most abysmal onboard audio ever. There is digital noise over the S/PDIF. Really. I use the analog line out to two systems. One sends Dolby stereo to my kitchen TV for its built in speakerss. The other 3.5mm line out is converted to Ethernet then back...

Anyone know if the Radeon HD 5770 can pass audio over both HDMI out and the DVI out connection simultaneously? I have a PC connected to my monitor, via HDMI. I have a Geforce 9800GT, and the audio is garbage. The crummy audio is due to my mediocre motherboard choice, and a limitation of the version ...

Oh, for what its worth, I was full of crap. My Lian-Li system isn't as quiet as I led myself to believe. When I open the side door to the case, I can hear it from five feet away. In fact it's louder than the other one I built for my wife(using an old HP pavilion case), with the Thermaltake fans. Sor...

I’m trying to avoid doing school work, and this forum discussion is more fun so… I thought I would attempt to be controversial and disagree a little with Skyring… He said “Hates noise but suggests a Thermaltake fan. Odd. Also I would note that while the A05N can be made qui e t it most certainly isn...

P7P55D-E should serve you well Great Choice in processor Dump the Blu-Ray drive for the Samsung 22x. Photos don't come on Blu-Ray ROM drives. BD-ROM is only good for HTPCs.
